About Me

Both of my parents experienced tooth loss in their late sixties. Because of this, I assume that I face the same fate. But as I learn more and more about tooth loss, I find that it's something I don't look forward to experiencing. In fact, I don't plan on losing any of my teeth. I spoke to my dentist about the subject, and he agrees that I can protect my teeth and gums from tooth loss. I just need to take better precautions with my oral health by eating right and visiting his dental office often. I started this blog to help you understand the dangers of not taking care of your mouth. Once you lose teeth, there's no getting them back. You can only replace them. Please keep my advice and tips in mind. They may come in handy one day.
